During my STATS final last night, the instructor presented a slide show of pet photos submitted by my classmates.

Here's the photo of Franklin I contributed.

Sitting here waiting for my STATS final to begin. And, of course, now is the moment my wireless mouse would choose to die.

TFW the used computer you bought to build out a NAS turns out to have plenty of drive bays ... but all but one of them are for 2.5" drives. 😖

The Hawthorne neighborhood is super extra SE funky. Love it.
One of the perks of having to get an Airbnb in another neighborhood while the kitchen is being worked on is getting to enjoy my evening walks with some fresh scenery. #pdx

If you are trying to crack my password and it's one of those sites with idiotic password requirements that includes a special character, the last character of my password will be "!".

Wow, so much more secure.

I'm planning a long weekend in Astoria. Recommendations for things to do, places to eat? Indoors stuff preferred. I'll stipulate I already know about the Tower and Goonies house.

Any faves you want to share?

Back in April, I unsubscribed from the Kennedy Center emails because: eff their Trumpy asses.

Today, they decided to spam me anyway for a donation. That's just so on brand for a MAGA grifter.

People bemoan the fact that Mastodon isn't getting more uptake.

That's where I was in the early days of Usenet. It was such a marvelous network and we all encouraged people to join.

Then, in September 1993, we […]

I went computer shopping today for the home lab. I wanted the latest model Dell Optiplex that is unlikely to be supported on Windows 11, figuring that's where the best values lie right now.

Today's plan: Swapping out the last of my APC backup power supplies. I hate APC as a brand. I hate the way they use special battery jigs that make user replacement difficult (and expensive).

It's almost as if they want you to buy a whole new UPS instead of just […]
